  • De Novo Biosynthesis of Terminal Alkyne-Labeled Natural Products
    De novo biosynthesis of terminal alkyne-labeled natural products Xuejun Zhu1,2, Joyce Liu2,3, Wenjun Zhang1,2,4* 1Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, 2Energy Biosciences Institute, 3Department of Bioengineering, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. 4Physical Biosciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. *e-mail:[email protected] 1 Abstract: The terminal alkyne is a functionality widely used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical science, material science, and bioorthogonal chemistry. This functionality is also found in acetylenic natural products, but the underlying biosynthetic pathways for its formation are not well understood. Here we report the characterization of the first carrier protein- dependent terminal alkyne biosynthetic machinery in microbes. We further demonstrate that this enzymatic machinery can be exploited for the in situ generation and incorporation of terminal alkynes into two natural product scaffolds in E. coli. These results highlight the prospect for tagging major classes of natural products, including polyketides and polyketide/non-ribosomal peptide hybrids, using biosynthetic pathway engineering. 2 Natural products are important small molecules widely used as drugs, pesticides, herbicides, and biological probes. Tagging natural products with a unique chemical handle enables the visualization, enrichment, quantification, and mode of action study of natural products through bioorthogonal chemistry1-4.

The reaction was analyzed by FT-IR, TGA, and XPS studies, and the conductivities of derivatives were discussed as a function of the length of alkyl chains. PEDOT:PSS-C6, which is the product from a reaction with epoxyhexane, was well dispersed in methanol and transparent films from this dispersion were successfully prepared. PEDOT:PSS-C6 film showed an increase in hydrophobicity, resulting in enhanced water resistance compared to pristine PEDOT:PSS film, and a morphological study of the film exhibited clear phase separation similar to PEDOT:PSS doped by DMSO. We also observed an improvement in the conductivity and flexibility of PEDOT:PSS-C6 film compared to those of Citation: Hwang, I.-S.; Park, C.-W.; pristine PEDOT:PSS film.

  • Chapter 13 Reactions of Arenes Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
    CH. 13 Chapter 13 Reactions of Arenes Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Electrophiles add to aromatic rings in a fashion somewhat similar to the addition of electrophiles to alkenes. Recall: R3 R4 E Y E Y C C + E Y R1 C C R4 R1 C C R4 − R2 R1 δ+ δ R2 R3 R2 R3 In aromatic rings, however, we see substitution of one of the benzene ring hydrogens for an electrophile. H E + E Y + Y H δ+ δ− The mechanism is the same regardless of the electrophile. It involves two steps: (1) Addition of the electrophile to form a high-energy carbocation. (2) Elimination of the proton to restore the aromatic ring system. H H H H slow E Y + Y step 1 + E δ+ δ− high energy arenium ion H H step 2 fast E E + Y + Y H The first step is the slow step since the aromaticity of the benzene ring system is destroyed on formation of the arenium ion intermediate. This is a high energy species but it is stabilized by resonance with the remaining two double bonds. The second step is very fast since it restores the aromatic stabilization. 1 CH. 13 H H H H H H E E E There are five electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions that we will study.

These novel ligands for Au(I) are based on glycomimetic phosphorus scaffolds, obtained from the chiral pool. The catalytic activities of these complexes are shown in the cyclization of allenols and the hydroamination of 2-(2-propynyl)aniline combined with an organocatalyzed reduction to the corresponding 2-phenyl tetrahydroquinoline. All described gold complexes present excellent catalytic activities. Keywords: gold catalysis; phosphosugars; catalysis; heterocycles; P-stereogeny 1. Introduction One of the major advances of the 21th century in organic chemistry is undoubtedly the increased importance of gold catalysis. Long believed to be useless for catalysis, gold complexes have emerged as powerful tools for the catalysis of myriads of reactions [1–9]. In particular, the gold tolerance towards air, moisture and numerous chemical functionalities renders the use of these catalysts very convenient. However, the bicoordinate linear geometry of gold(I) complexes makes the control of the asymmetry difficult, the chiral ligand being placed in a distal position to the reactive cationic center.
